Loading CA Certificates” on page 5-21. You should also periodically check the Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRL) table, as described in the following section.
Managing your Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
A CRL file shows certificates that have been revoked and are no longer valid. Each CA issues their
own CRLs. It is important that you keep your CRLs up-to-date. You should obtain the CRL for
each CA regularly.
On the Certificates screen, you can view your currently-loaded CRLs and upload a new CRL.
To view your currently-loaded CRLs and upload a new CRL, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) table at the bottom of the Certificates screen
(see Figure 5-26 on page 5-26).
